It’s Day 20 And People Are Literally Wearing Their Pillows

Staying home and wearing sweatpants all day? Totally normal. Necessary even. And just when we thought the new business casual couldn’t get any more comfortable, a new trend started sweeping social media: wearing pillows.

That’s right, fashion influencers around the world are belting pillows to their bodies like a dress during quarantine. It’s been dubbed the #QuarantinePillowChallenge, and a lot of resulting looks are surprisingly chic.

We’ve seen everything from ruffles to animal print and plenty of monochromatic “outfits” with matching accessories. We especially love the creative toilet paper purse below. Some people are even using their comforters to create a high-low dress.

The challenge is really catching on, too, with over 26,000 posts on Instagram. And while wearing pillows may seem silly, if you ask us, playing dress-up sounds like a fun way to pass time while staying home. Plus, we could all use a little lighthearted relief right now.

So grab a pillow, your favorite belt, and any accessories, then get to work! For more inspiration, scroll through some of our favorite pillow challenge looks below.
